Huguenot Arch, Wetherby blue plaque

THE HUGUENOT ARCH This arch was originally over a passageway between two houses at West End (now Westgate) near the present library. Local tradition says that they were built by the descendants of Huguenot (Protestant) refugees from France. The French inscription stone reads “Love your neighbour as

yourself, said the Evangelist” and was laid on 19th January 1827.
